I convinced my buddies and brothers to get guns, and all bought either assault strikers or strikers. We have a pretty good group going now every weekend, and an awesome area to play in (thanks to my in-laws). We were able to pair two strikers, and two assault strikers with both attachment slots filled to the vest. By next week we should have at least one I.T.S. to test out as well. Prices we paid were 40 for each assault striker, 30 for each striker, 10 for the scope, and 15 for the other attachments (refractor, machine gun, enemy scanner) and 20 for the vest. Prices were USD at Meijer, or Target. I want to point out to US customers, Costco has bundles available for multiple strikers with vests, assault strikers with an I.T.S. and multiple attachments. They only save you 5-15 USD but you don't get to pick your colors. Both sets come with orange/human and yellow/robot guns.Torch_Bearerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725680022415596380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-41733815703643538932011-07-31T07:26:40.012+10:002011-07-31T07:26:40.012+10:00I posted the comment above.

First off, the GAP feels much better than the SP, with a larger handle and a trigger that doesn't take a lot of pressure to fire. (The SP required a firm trigger pull) I'd recommend the GAP over the SP. As for playing, I originally thought it wouldn't be much fun because you have to expose your gun to fire; I imagined two people taking each other out. <br /> First off, we played a round with only laser strike. This wasn't as fun, the only thing that made it interesting was the shields function. Other than that, it was just a mad dash at each other and blast your opponent with full auto.<br /> When we played with switching weapons, like pulse strike and sonic strike, it made things more interesting. If your opponent had sonic strike, you put your shields on and ran at them with laser strike. That kind of thing. The different weapons really introduced some variety, which was good. I won more because I employed good tactics: hit an opponent with a few sonic strikes, turn on shields, and then run at them with laser strike blasting away. <br /> After that, we introduced headphones. That way you couldn't hear your opponent's gun say "Sonic Strike" or "Shields Activated." This added a little more complexity, as you didn't know if you should turn on shields to ward off a sonic strike, because your opponent could be using stealth strike. <br /> Lastly, I came up with the idea to use the mini target included with one of the pistols. I put it in a room, and no player could go in that room. If the target was lit up in your color when you died, you can respawn. If not, you lose. This added even more fun. I was low on health, so I starting shooting at my opponent. I snuck in an attack on the target, right before my opponent killed me. I respawned and blasted him until he died, since he had about half health from earlier. <br /> In essence, Light Strike offers many possibilities to change up the game, thus keeping things interesting. I have had some experience with phoenix LTX pistols (Still sold at my TRU for 70 dollors, by the way) and I can say that light strike is much better. Me and a friend just got bored easily with the LTX's. If you have the money to spend, I recommend these even more now. My opponent pointed out that they would be more fun if you had 5 or 10 people. Of course, that would be very expensive to purchase 5 of these. However, this is the kind of thing somebody might randomly get a friend for a birthday, so it might just end up that all of your friends have some of these, if they start to gain popularity. Keep in mind that I have seen these on other sites (Target, K-mart, and I assume Wal-Mart) for 30 dollars for a striker and 40 dollars for an assault striker. Gotta love the TRU 5 dollar price hike. End rant, go buy yourself a light striker. P.S.

It's really cool, but by itself I have to entertain myself just by shooting the target. Now, was it really worth 35 US dollars? I think so, for what you get, but it is still expensive. I like how if you point the sight at the target, it will pretty much always hit, so the sight actually works. And the beam reacts with my tv, which is cool. Thanks for going in depth on these, and I'll have to get some friends to ask for these for their birthdays so we can battle. My favorite weapon is stealth strike. I was surprised at how loud these can be... I would definetly recommend these to someone, especially if somebody else is buying, heh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-56063875234949424032011-07-22T01:31:24.994+10:002011-07-22T01:31:24.994+10:00If you don't use a vest, is it possible to con...If you don't use a vest, is it possible to connect with an opponent's vest and have an advantage because nobody knows which vest you have?

Read their "about" page. if you don't like the other stuff, then go somewhere else. don't whine about it, one bad comment won't make them change their entire approach. <br /><br />Also... you shouldn't say "we" as if you speak for all of us haha. I think if someone could make a really effective laser tag system, it would be pretty much one of the coolest things ever. I had a dream once that someone made a BUNCH of laser tag guns, vests, accessories, customization, and it was pretty much like Call of duty (many guns, perks, attachments, etc.) except it was laser tag! freaking... epic... then I woke up :/<br /><br />p.s. they can only write about things as they come up. they are writing about lightstrike now because they actually HAVE them now and are able to give more in depth info on them. <br /><br />Vortex isn't out yet, they got their hands on the nitron for a bit, but not enough to write much. plus there isn't much more to write or even know about vortex besides the internals or modability(which UT has said they don't really focus on). we know everything else. until they reveal more vortex products probably six months after the first batch is out.<br /><br />And gear up? its just re-colored, re-released nerf guns... not much to say on them lol. we've pretty much got all the info possible on them.TURTLE!!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-5516994369017642502011-07-21T11:42:32.243+10:002011-07-21T11:42:32.243+10:00^ go somewhere else.
